GARRETT HIGH FLOW TURBO | FATZ INTAKE | DENSO INJECTORS | PWR RADIATOR | 79 Series Cruiser Updates

Just some of the parts fitted to the Old Girl '79. Having now over 305,000kms on the odometer it was time to give the cruiser some (more) love.
The short video identifies prior and post parts replacement regimen. Why? Well, I've already said it, but let's get serious, prevention is better than cure.
The injectors, whilst still in spec, were noisy (well they were pushed pretty hard with the tune). Good time to replace the injector lines as well and the turbo. I had noticed small fluctuations in boost (when under heavy load) exceeding the tune spec of 20-22 psi.
Radiator, well, that's a different story really. It came down to either replacing it with the PWR or fitting a top mount intercooler. The later was never an option, for me. Why, most of you would have guessed by now, but I'm not going to say it, but, I will release another video in the future.
Details below of the parts fitted:
#garrettturbo Powermax GTV2359V Gen 2 (good for 25 psi)
#fatz High Flow Intake & Modified Engine Mount to suit standard air box
Toyota Valve Cover Set
Toyota top and bottom radiator hoses
Toyota radiator over flow tank hoses
Toyota injector/fuel pump/fuel rail high pressure lines supplied by #cheapertdieselsparesaustralia
Toyota pre-mix coolant (15 litres)
#ryco air filer, main and secondary fuel filters
#pwr radiator
#denso injectors supplied by #cheapertdieselsparesaustralia
Workshop #kendaysautomotiveservices
I'm heading, some of you. Yes, I could have done quite a bit of this work for sure. But, if you have been following me you will know my left knee is only 7 weeks young (at date of publishing this video). I was not going to crawl under, over or about the cruiser cause I need to train my new knee a bit.

Great Video Kenny....

Hmmmm...... AN fittings in rad'? First thought was auto transmission, but you've already discounted that idea, when I suggested it last year. Second thought would be that there's a Whipple (or similar) on the way....but that's out too, given that you've just plumbed in a new Garrett. So, to my way of thinking, that can only mean that you are going to fit a liquid to air aftercooler. That seems a bit difficult to comprehend too, given that you've already gone from top mount to front mount air to air unit. So, I'll remain intrigued until you put me out of my misery. 😂

Bill, Somewhere in there is the answer. k

Good video, my 79 Ute Single cab will be going in for surgery too. G-Turbo are looking the goods.

[@kennymepicadventures876]

If you are buying the turbo yourself it pays to shop around cause the price differences can be quite remarkable, for the same turbo. kennym

@kennymepicadventures876 yeah, I'm going with a local Perth W.A. company. They have rigs they do there own R&D. Mechanical Engineering & Metalurgy. I'm happy with the decision. My car has done 440 000km. They go good. It's an '07 so I've just bought a new 2017 gear box, Cross over pipe & hd 1300 Nm Clutch & billet flywheel. Next is the j-max diff. Heavier suspension. Im running the BP- 51 atm but only 400 kg rear end springs. Empty farm Ute work tray. Up that to 600 all at same time.

@@R00RAL Have you looked at the Dwiz diff? Rated at 3020kg but generally certified (with gvm upgrades) at 2900kg. Comes with chrome moly axles. I have the DMW GVM upgrade to 4499kg. It’s a heap better than the old Man Emu I had on previously. They use Dobinson suspension

[@R00RAL]

@kennymepicadventures876 Yes, I have seen them. J-Max is virtually the same. I am also upgrading the GVM / GCM .. Yeah, I had that feeling I might have to swap suspension.. good bye another $6k.
